Yule: A Celebration of Light & Warmth | Dorothy Morrison

Contrary to popular belief yule is a celebration heralding the dawning of spring. It's main themes are light, warmth, and renewal. Light to mark lengthening of the days as spring approaches, warmth and renewal for the upcoming growing season. #yule #yuleseasonswap #swaps #events #sostice

Yule: A Celebration of Light & Warmth | Dorothy Morrison

I'm going to post random factoids about yule in the lead up to signups opening for #yuleseasonswap #yule #swaps #events
1. Yule is thought to be very ancient. Tracing back at least as far as the Vikings and possibly even farther back to proto Germanic peoples.

bumpinthenight please tag me when you open sign-ups bc I‘ll forget! 😵‍💫 3w

thebacklistbook will do @bumpinthenight 3w

Cuilin I did laugh at the fact that Sherlock has no vices. He just does cocaine every now and then. Lol 1y

IndoorDame @Cuilin totally! 🤣 1y

CatLass007 @Cuilin @IndoorDame Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine. My maternal grandfather was an EENT who used cocaine as a pain medication when performing nasal surgery. So Watson‘s description of Holmes having no vices except for cocaine actually tracks with the times. 1y

Librarybelle This is probably my least favorite of the stories thus far. I was hoping, like Holmes, that it was Effie‘s first husband back to haunt her or seek revenge or something. The “twist” is abominable. It does make me think there was a political agenda to this. Ugh…on to the next story! 1y

IndoorDame @Librarybelle it seems like there‘s a political bent to a lot of his stories. Is that bad? Contemporary writers often use their voices and platforms to make people think. It definitely alienates certain readers, but it makes others feel seen and heard, and makes yet more question their current opinions. 1y

Librarybelle @IndoorDame I agree…I think it‘s safe to say that stories tend to have a political slant to them. I‘m not saying that is bad. I personally was not a fan of the twist to this, hence my comment to move on to the next. I really should not comment on these posts without fully thinking through my responses. 😂 1y

IndoorDame @Librarybelle no, these chats are great! They make me think about the stories from other angles. Like you just got me to go look up marriage laws in Britain and the UK which never would‘ve occurred to me. I wasn‘t even thinking legally when I was thinking about Effie‘s character. 1y

Librarybelle @IndoorDame You always learn something new with the discussions! One of the many reasons why Litsy is so great! 1y

dabbe Another angle I found interesting was like a road map as to how to have a good marriage: you must COMMUNICATE no matter how difficult. Easier to say in 2024, but, man, it reminded me (in a roundabout way) of ROMEO AND JULIET and how no one would have died if they just would have trusted, loved, and spoken honestly to one another. 1y

CogsOfEncouragement It seemed like a story to teach a lesson this time - love and respect across races - rather than a clever mystery. It seems I like Sherlock more than others who comment here. His statement at the end does not surprise me. He is decisive & confident because he is usually correct, but he has shown care for people many times. He makes no excuses for his error, just admits it. Even tells Watson to remind him. He is not unreasonable in pride or ego. 1y

CogsOfEncouragement @Cuilin I laughed too! 1y

kelli7990 I enjoyed this story. 1y

dabbe @kelli7990 🤩🤩🤩 1y

Aimeesue @dabbe Yes! So many times, if people had just talked to each other, there would have been zero drama! 1y

dabbe @Aimeesue But then I guess we wouldn't have a story to read. 😂🤗😀 1y

Aimeesue @dabbe 😂😂😂 1y
